Loss of a Smart Key
Three Smart Keys can be registered
at maximum to a single vehicle,
including a Card-type Smart Key.
When you happen to lose your Smart
Key, you should immediately take the
vehicle and the remaining keys to
your authorized EQUUS dealer, or
tow the vehicle, if necessary.
Smart key precautions
The Smart Key will not operate,when any of the followings occurs:
- The Smart Key is close to radio transmitters such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which may
interfere with normal operation
of the Smart Key.
- The Smart Key is near to a mobile two-way radio system or
a mobile phone.
- Another vehicle’s Smart Key is being operated close to your
vehicle.
When the Smart Key does not nor- mally operate, use the mechanical
key to lock/unlock a door and con-
tact an authorized EQUUS dealer.
When the Smart Key is in close proximity to a mobile phone, the
signal may be blocked by the nor-
mal signals of your mobile phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active, such as mak-
ing/receiving calls, text messag-
ing, or sending/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the Smart Key and
your mobile phone in the same
pants or the jacket pocket. Always
try to maintain an adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Record your key number
The key code number is stamped or
printed on the code tag attached to
the key set. When you lose your
keys, this number will enable an
authorized EQUUS dealer to easily
duplicate the keys. Remove the key
code tag and store it in a safe place.
Also, record the key code number
and keep it in a safe and handy
place, but not inside the vehicle.
Immobilizer system
The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. When a key
of the wrong code (or other devices)
is used, the engine fuel system is
disabled. After turning ON the
Engine Start/Stop button, the
Immobilizer System briefly operates,
and then goes OFF. When the indica-
tor flashes, the system does not rec-
ognize the Smart Key code.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
to turn OFF, and then re-press the
Engine Start/Stop button to turn ON.
The system may not recognize your
Smart Key code, when another
immobilizer key or other metal object
(i.e. key chain) is near the Smart Key.
The engine may not start, because
the transponder signal is interrupted
by a metal.
When the system does not repeated-
ly recognize the Smart Key code,
contact your EQUUS dealer.

Convenient features of your vehicle
Always securely close the trunk
lid while the vehicle is in

ajar, poisonous exhaust gases
containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle,
resulting serious illness or
death.
WARNING
Make sure there are no people
or objects around the trunk
before opening or closing the
Power Trunk. Wait until the trunk
is fully open, before loading or
unloading.
WARNING
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.

WARNING

Power Trunk Non-Opening orClosing Conditions:
The Power Trunk will not operate,
when driving faster than 1.8 mph
(3 km/h).
The Power Trunk is operable when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being drained, do
not operate it excessively (i.e.
more than approximately 10 times
in a consecutive manner.)
Do not modify or repair any part of the Power Trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not
operate the Power Trunk, when
the vehicle is raised up.
Otherwise, this may cause the
Power Trunk to improperly oper-
ate.
When there are substances, such as snow, on the Power Trunk, it
may not automatically open. After
removing the substances, try to
open it again.
Automatic stop and Reverse
When the trunk lid is blocked by an
object or someone’s body, while
opening or closing, the power trunk
will detect the resistance, stop the
operation, or swing open in a reverse
direction to clear the object.
However, when the resistance is
weak with a thin or soft object, or
when the trunk is slightly latched, the
Power Trunk may not detect the
resistance, and not swing open to
clear an object. In addition, when the
Power Trunk is applied with strong
force, the Power Trunk may stop its
operation and swing open in the
reverse direction.
When the Power Trunk stops its
operation and swings open in a
reverse direction more than twice in
one opening or closing, the Power
Trunk may stop at that position.
When this occurs, manually close
the trunk lid and re-operate the
Power Trunk.

be ON, before raising or lowering the
windows.

senger windows. The power windows
even operate for approximately 30
seconds after turning the Engine
Start/Stop Button to the ACC or
LOCK position. However, after open-
ing a front door, the Power Windows
do not operate.

While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped)
open (or partially open), your vehicle
may experience noise due to the wind
resistance. This is normal, and the
noise can be reduced or eliminated by
taking the following actions. When the
noise occurs with one or both of the
rear windows down, lower both the
front windows approximately by one
inch. When you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof to reduce the opening size.

mally operate, the automatic power
window system must be reset as fol-
lows:

2. Continue pulling up the power win- dow switch even after fully closing
the windows for one second or

Automatic Reverse
When a window sensor detects any
obstacle while automatically closing
the window, the window will stop the
upward movement, and then be low-
ered by approximately 12 in (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
When the window sensor detects the
resistance while pulling up the power
window switch, the window will stop
the upward movement, and then be
lowered by approximately 1 in (2.5
cm). When the power window switch is
pulled up again within five seconds
after the window is lowered by the
automatic reverse function, this func-
tion does not operate.
Information
The automatic reverse function for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” function is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse function will not operate,
when the window is half open by oper-
ating the Power Window switch.

Make sure heads, other body
parts or other objects are not
extended from the windows,
before closing, to avoid injury
or vehicle damage.
Objects, which are less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter and
caught between the window
and the upper window frame,
may not be detected by the
automatic reverse sensor. Thus,
the window operation will not
automatically stop and be
reversed.
